Watch hand luminous color repair

[Lorenz]

Good evening guys, unfortunately I managed to drop my Breitling Chronospace a56012. Now a small peace of the color in the Minute hand fell out. Does anyone have an Idea how or if I can fill it up with paint again? and where I could get such a paint.

Didn't see the pic, page wont open.

More important is to blow all paint  pieces out of the movement and if movement is still in the case, you best not wear the watch.

This is the image in question I believe.
If you are having trouble inserting images, you will get better results using the Insert other Media link in the bottom right of the editor window, then choose Insert image from URL.

I wouldn't attempt this on a genuine Breitling without a lot of practice.

Re-luming hands is possible, and most of the watch repair suppliers supply lume as either individual colours or a kit of colours, however the technique requires considerable skill and patience. You also need to remove the hands from the watch, as the lume is applied from the rear of the hands.

If you do consider attempting this, even in light of what I have said, then at the very least, obtain a few cheap watches to practice on first. Also watch this lot, it gives a lot of context to the problem, and some good tips.

Can you see the missing piece of lume floating around somewhere on the dial?

Thank you all a lot for the help, I will watch the Videos you sent me and try to repair it that way. I also didn't find the missing peace. I will update you all when I am trying it.
